Yep, still are if you know what you are looking for. Sadly, being a merc is a crappy job.

Yes, and say what you want about Soldier Of Fortune magazine, but they are one of very few publications that actually get out into the war zone and report from the front lines while other journalists are sitting in their hotel rooms reporting what they hear from their interpreters and drivers.
Yeah, Soldier Of Fortune is a corn ball name but you have to read whats inside of the magazine, not just the name on the cover.

Yes, it ensured mega sales to the "wannabe a soldier" sad sacks.
Funny, but the French & Belgians were the top of the class when it came to mercenary fighting in Africa, along with the odd Paddy like "Mad Mike" Hoare.
